After we finish recording This is Working (the video series), we cajole guests to stick around for quick answers to questions about productivity and career growth — a feature called This is Quick. In this week's session, Vas Narasimhan tells us why he carries a 400-million-year old fossil around with him, how a college trip impacted his career path, and which mentor had lasting impact on his life.
